    We had a wonderful dinner for our anniversary! The service was outstanding! Our waiter, Isiah, the bar manager, Justin and the manager Anastasia made us feel so welcome and we even got a glass Prosecco on the house to celebrate. We ordered the pre-theater menu because we were seeing a musical close and didn’t want to rush. Overall an excellent choice!

    My very favorite restaurant in the city! They have consistently high-quality, wonderful dishes and rotate the menu so there’s always something new. They are great to us and our kids with special needs and dietary restrictions and we’re always great when they were babies as well. I’ve been coming for years and always bring out of town guests here. Get the scotch egg, drinks are great, the latest past I got was amazing and if you’re lucky to come for brunch, try the pastries!!! They are out of this world!

    Booked this establishment last minute for a Christmas lunch while exploring Chicago. My husband and I enjoyed the food and the ambiance of the restaurant. The lobster roll was really good and my husband enjoyed the Bandol Burger. Highly recommend trying this establishment when in Chicago.

    We came over to check in about 15 mins before our reservations and we were seared immediately. Everyone was so friendly and polite. The place was decorated beautifully. We love the fairies that come around to the table no matter how old you are. They were so sweet and make the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was wonderful so attentive, never having to look for him, always refilling our glasses and providing prompt and friendly service. Food came out quick and was very good. We never felt rushed. We were able to go by the tree and take pictures. It was just a fabulous time. We had our first experience there last year and now we’ve made this an annual tradition. We look forward to many more years to come.

    When I first arrived, I realized that the noise level where the high tops are located would have been a challenge for the seven members of our group who were meeting each other for the first time. The hostess Abby was very helpful in accommodating my request to move to another location in the restaurant. Appetizers were good. Our quick one hour meeting from 5-6 pm worked out well.
